Program Descriptions. I would see the complex machinery and think that I would really want to use it one day. I would rate this camp five stars. The teachers are amazing and teach with unique styles that kept me interested all 6 hours. We got to use instruments that scientist use in labs such as a centrifuge, micropipettes, incubators, incinerators and so on. This is an amazing program! I learned a lot and this was a great experience. I loved doing all of the experiments and learning about the different tests and methods that doctors often use at the hospital.

The knowledge that I learned from this program gave me a greater understanding of biomedical sciences and has given me a passion for science. In person sessions will be dependent upon GW guidance or policy due to the pandemic.
